Weekly Recap
George and Huanxin were both out of the office for a large part of
this week because of school vacations, so things were pretty quiet.
However, the next few weeks will be pretty busy…
While there is no eMOLT seminar scheduled at the Maine Fishermen’s
Forum, we encourage you to stop by the Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation
(outside the large meeting rooms) and the Northeastern Regional
Association of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (near main lobby) booths.
If you do not find anyone there and/or would like to make an
appointment, please call/text Erin Pelletier (GOMLF) at 207-205-8088 or
Tom (NERACOOS) at 207-650-9766 to schedule a chat. George and JiM will
not be at the forum but if you’d like to set up a time to learn about
options to visualize your data, feel free to reach out to George ahead
of the Forum at 508-299-9693.
Also before the Forum, Erin Pelletier (Gulf of Maine Lobster
Foundation) and Andrew Goode (The Lobster Institute) will be attending
the Island Institute’s Climate Round Table discussion in Rockland, ME
next Wednesday February 28 from 1030-1630 to present our plans to expand
eMOLT in the Gulf of Maine and get feedback from the fishing industry.
This event is an annual opportunity for fishermen and scientists to come
together and share notes about the past fishing year, as well as the
longer-term environmental changes they are noticing on the water. If you
are interested in attending and would like more information, please
contact Andrew at andrew.goode@maine.edu
We met virtually with NERACOOS personnel recently to discuss the
non-realtime eMOLT updates on their climatology website. We decided to
display results for at least a half dozen of the 20+ year time series
which have recent years included. As seen in the graphics below, there
are many hourly time series available including more than a dozen that
span more than two decades!
